Brazil v Morocco and here we are again. Are are y’all just inured to it? Are any of the soccer/football lifers out there feeling angry about the constant, unrepentant histrionics? It’s fucking embarrassing. Was it always like this? Did Pele dive? Or did they just play the game?

I know this is often perceived as aggro male bs but I CANNOT handle the dives in soccer/football. It’s egregious and pathetic and dishonest and it seems to happen 3x a minute. How is diving not the headline of every World Cup story? Here’s hoping the NHL cracks down on it before it goes full FIFA.

THAT’S TWO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP GOALS IN THE FIRST HALF FOR TEAM USA

One of the most iconic SPORTS ILLUSTRATED covers of the 1970s came 54 years ago today. The great Dick Allen.

My son is all growed up.

"I first left legacy media when a new, disturbing consensus emerged in the press: that I was bad at my job. So I did what any rational journalism-averse person would do. I blamed everything on woke. On cancel. On not listening enough to diverse voices, like fascists."

Sometimes you just have to stop and shout to the heavens, “let them eat fat FREE fig newtons!”

I suspect this might be the best photo I ever take

Thinking about this more, I am now obsessed with a lineup that starts: Harper (highest OBP) Schwarber Marsh (my son, the absolute legend) Stott More hittable pitches for Harper. More RBIs Schwarber gets. Way more runs-on-hits (as opposed to HRs). Or they get in their heads and it all falls apart.

Story & plot don’t matter. I skip every cutscene. Want a fun story? Go read a book. Ima go play mega man 2. The story is “go kill the robots.” Or Elden Ring. Not even Miyazaki knows what that shit is about. Just drop in and get fucked up. Go light a tree on fire. Fight a big man on a tiny horse.

I’m sure there’s food worth waiting for but whenever I see some trendy sandwich place that has people standing in line for an hour I just think that Arby’s will hand you a bag of food and you can move on with your life

Right, so, when are we getting started on the Butlerian Jihad?

watching Sanchez's evolution from, like, just a guy to one of the three or four best pitchers in baseball has been one of the cooler sports things i've experienced

Wednesday afternoon is a prime example of why "wake me up in October" bothers me. You'll miss history, and you'll miss years of hard work in the spotlight. Cristopher Sanchez, once an erratic, lanky left-hander, has etched his name into Phillies history. www.crossingbroad.com/news/phillie...

this is true. there's a practical question abt how much value there is in doing it without the votes to convict. but it hurt Trump a lot. There's simply no question about this.

Seriously though, this industry-wide psychosis is starting to get on my fucking nerves.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

The Internet was a mistake. Letting random assholes talk about mental health shit on the Internet was an even bigger mistake. But the biggest mistake was creating a system where, even with decades of tech and IT knowledge, it is physically impossible to prevent kids from accessing it all.

Aaaaand launched. Phew. Super proud of this site. We went hard on this thing. And you should see the backend! We built a whole custom CRM into it. Pipedrive and Salesforce can eat it. And Atlassian can eat it cause our PM/agile tool and documentation system is coming in hot. swiftkickweb.com

Ima just enjoy Phillies baseball right now. No plans or expectations for postseason. 🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️🧘🏽🧘🏻🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏿

I love the Philadelphia Flyers. one hell of a series and it feels like there will be a parade down broad sometime in the next 7 years.

"Let's go Flyers" chant breaks out in the Xfinity Mobile Arena as the players go to console Dan Vladar after the loss. Lasted all the way until well into the handshake line. Full crowd.

Hundreds of workers in Google’s UK artificial intelligence division have voted to unionise over concerns that its technology is being used by the US to wage war on Iran and by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza.

Welp. Guess we all knew _this_ was coming. As our ability to do anything about any of this is slowly but surely stripped away.

Flyers have em right where they want em.

The Phillies and the Sixers and the Flyers all play tomorrow and they're all coming off wins

Flyers Fans Not Sure  Whether Gritty  Supposed To Be Eating Live Bird https://theonion.com/flyers-fans-not-sure-whether-gritty-supposed-to-be-eating-live-bird/

I have really got to learn how to sew/repair (darn?) jeans pockets more betterer. I keep destroying them (gotta cut costs somewhere, I guess 🫠). They rip along the top where they connect to the denim and it’s SO HARD to fix and making just make entirely new ones is even harder.

No exaggeration this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe I just got the sillies but I’m full-on cry-laughing over here.

And yet they fired him. Cause all the things he couldn’t control were failing.

Thompson was the ONE AND ONLY thing on the team you couldn’t point to as a problem with the Phillies. It feels like a punishment to the players, who reportedly love him. Fully cutting off our lovable, successful nose to spite our old, slow, meatball-slinging face.

I think we all know who to blame here. Not Vladar. Not Crosby. The Phillies. They won. They stole the vibes. They selfishly stole the Flyers’ vibes. It was selfish and wrong and I’m mad at them.

Phillies are up 2-0 and they need to start losing immediately lest they rob The Vibes.

When I found out the 49ers were using ChatGPT to draft people I asked it who the 49ers should draft in 2026 without looking using the web tool (so it wouldn’t see who they picked) and one of the choices was Emeka Egbuka (picked 19th in 2025). It then hallucinated a guy called Kevin Stribling.

at a job interview "whats your biggest weakness?" "understanding the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics" "could you give an me an example?" "yes i could"

I’ve never been a “post your cat!” kind of person but… look at my cat. He is at once a total gentleman and a complete buffoon.

The biggest mistake that Dombrowski made with the Phillies was Taijuan Walker. Cutting him loose with 85+% of his horrible contract complete isn't exactly recouping any losses, nor is it saving any face. When did this team build go wrong? When he believed the upside on that dude's scouting report
